A lone Flower.

What can a lone flower do?

Struggling through a crack,

The wind brushes by.

The water avoids me,

Sun bares its anger,

Only the impotent earth,

Here to comfort me,

I cry out,

‘The day is too rough and long,

The night breezes by.’

I seek help around,

Only to find my shadow,

It raises its hands to me,

To grant my long waited sleep.

  The poem is about the hardships that one faces in this brief life. The character in the poem decides suicide as the final solution.

One Saturday in the life of an ordinary person.

My summer vacation.

Trip to Bajo.

Just yesterday my mother and I went to shopping in Bajo. We live in Punakha but my father has his office in Bajo. These days he comes home for lunch so we went with him and came when his office hours were over. His office is at the top lane so we got out at the last lane to shop our way up.

We did not have many things to buy but the things we had to buy were of different items. So we thought that we would take lots of time going from shop to shop. But the complete opposite happened we got all our things from the first four shops we visited. We bought our clothes from the first shop we visited after getting off the vehicle. We got my electronic things from the second shop we went to and the kitchen items from the third shop. Then we just strolled through the town seeking anything that might catch our eyes. After reaching father’s office we stayed there till father’s office hour was over.

My father loves sports and he can play many different sports too. His favourite is Archery or I assume its archery because he mostly plays archery.  Because of these he knows all the archery ground there are near him. One of them is the recently built archery ground in Bajothanggu near the Punatshang Chhu. On our way back from Bajo yesterday father took us there. In the middle of the archery ground there is a small shop near the river bank. The shop has a little veranda built facing the river. From there we get to see the slowing flowing river in front and the mountain surrounding it. The shop feels like it’s built over the river even though there is about two metre gap between the shop and the river.  It is a very peaceful place. From the little veranda we could see about twelve temples including Nalanda and Khujula Goenpa.

My Mother's Garden.

My mother loves to maintain her own garden. Everywhere we stay she always keeps a small garden, both vegetables and flower. She likes to collect different flowers especially different colours of geranium. If my mother is nowhere to be found in the house she is in her garden.

She mostly grows maize, chilli, beans, tomato, pumpkin, eggplants, peas, shallots, sag and garlic. When I came home this vacation there are mostly maize, chilli, beans and pumpkin. Because of these I get to eat as many maize as I want.

These days it is very hot especially in the morning, therefore she tends her garden in the afternoon when the sun is not so hot. The maize in the garden was ripe so I too helped to pluck it. We weeded the vegetable garden and plucked the maize.

Here are some pictures of the flowers she collects.
